This is a prime case of why I could do with simplification in my life.
I'm giving the keys back to my place in Dundee within the month, so I've got to setup a postal redirection.
My “old” address has a number of sub-variations, because
(1) the address in the Postal Address File is different to the electoral roll
(2) the Postal Address File gives my old address as being three separate flats, instead of one
(3) neither of these are actually what is actually marked on the door.
So, the address in the postal address file is invariably recorded as
Flat D, 33
Or
Flat D, 35
Or
Flat D, 37
When I asked the then-local councillor to try and simplify things, we got another version, so the address in the electoral roll is recorded as
Flat 3/2, 33
But, the actual number on the door is
Flat 4, 35
While the postmen have just bunged everything in (irrespective of the number, or the name), try explaining that to someone outside the city!
This is enough to drive you to drink! Pity the pub downstairs closed down, in this respect!
